← ScienceWhich consequence results when laser light reflects off oil?
A)Brilliant colours appear variably✓
B)Beam intensity reaches maximum
C)Speckle pattern loses sharpness
D)Harmonic frequencies become amplified
💡 Explanation
Colour fringes appear because constructive and destructive interference occurs due to varying oil thickness; this process modulates reflected wavelengths. Therefore, vivid colours reflecting is the outcome, rather than changes in beam properties or frequency amplification as there's no cavity.
